Definition & Classification
Industries in the Printing and Related Support Activities subsector print products, such as newspapers, books, labels, business cards, stationery, business forms, and other materials, and perform support activities, such as data imaging, platemaking services, and bookbinding. The support activities included here are an integral part of the printing industry, and a product (a printing plate, a bound book, or a computer disk or file) that is an integral part of the printing industry is almost always provided by these operations. Processes used in printing include a variety of methods used to transfer an image from a plate, screen, film, or computer file to some medium, such as paper, plastics, metal, textile articles, or wood. The most prominent of these methods is to transfer the image from a plate or screen to the medium (lithographic, gravure, screen, and flexographic printing). A rapidly growing new technology uses a computer file to directly 'drive' the printing mechanism to create the image and new electrostatic and other types of equipment (digital or nonimpact printing). This 3-digit NAICS subsector (323) is under the hierarchy of the Manufacturing Sector (31-33). Its SIC equivalent code is: Major Group 27 - Printing, Publishing, And Allied Industries.
